"It is a wonderful way that the message can get to teachers without me physically visiting your networks."

Teachers can actually search for it on Youtube if they search with Dawn's name.

Dawn would also like to invite you all to the information sessions that we are running on National consistency for school leaders. As stakeholders and very important people you may like to come along and find out what changes are happening to registration in Victoria eg National Standards.

"I look forward to seeing some of you again soon.

 My warmest thoughts as always.

 Best wishes"
